Whales
Hail Mary Mallon (Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Money (x29)
Motherfucker

Money on my motherfucking mind
Cop five haircuts at the same time
White gold pants, jet ski made of wine
Foie gras bust of Albert Einstein
Get money

Money out my motherfucking mouth
A mansion, a ranch, and a camp and a town
A motherfucking store with a floor made of scalps
Bobby from the block don't got rocks, he got Alps
Get money

Money in the motherfucking jar
Shark fin pastry
Summers on Mars
Twenty motherfuckers in a levitating car
Seven-forty-seven full of women and cigars
Get money

Money in the motherfucking pot
A castle full of cars and the yard full of yachts
A leopard with a mink
And an arm full of clocks
All hand wound everyday by a Spock
Get money

Money (x29)
Motherfucker

Money is a motherfucking joke
Forty bald eagles sewn onto a coat
Zoo with the crib, mermaid in the moat
Buy another strip mall every eighth note
Get money

Money ain't a motherfucking prob
It's a sport I invented to win when I watch
And own all the rights and the lights and the locks
Even own all the ice in the Sprite you just dropped
Get money

Money or your motherfucking life
Two ton angel carved outta ice
Alligator sailboat, dollar sign eyes
Fill a warehouse full of Van Goghs twice
Get money

Money or your motherfucking heart
I could give it to my dog
He makes money when he barks
Or put it in my fridge
Or in one of my parks that I bought
So my robots could learn how to LARP
Get money





Money (x29)
Motherfucker

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Whales" by Hail Mary Mallon are a satirical commentary on the obsession with wealth and materialism in modern society. The repeated chorus of "Money motherfucker" highlights the permeation of money into every aspect of life. In the first verse, the absurdity of excessive spending is illustrated with the imagery of buying multiple haircuts at once and a jet ski made of wine. The second verse continues with the theme of extravagance, referencing a store with a floor made of scalps and a town complete with a mansion and ranch.


In the third verse, the lyrics take a more surreal turn, referencing a shark fin pastry and summers on Mars. The final verse is perhaps the most absurd, with the idea of filling a warehouse full of Van Goghs twice. Throughout the song, the emphasis is on the excesses of wealth, with each example becoming more and more absurd. Ultimately, the song is a critique of the ways in which wealth has come to define and dominate modern society.
